Damn, Bloody still stuff, stronger than the usual whisky!

Took me by surprise!

Ok, I just came from the Tiger 800 forum, I will be up tomorrow morning for a wee run!

And so it came to pass that “Steve - Billy No Mates” decided to take a ride into the hinter lands that surround Loch Tay and exercise his right to ride his bike when & where he wanted. Eldest son wanted to stretch the legs of his latest ride – a BMW 1150GS with 41lt TT tank fitted, so he came out to play as well. Africajim was not on call for a change and decided he needed to notch up some more miles onto his XC800 Tiger before getting it serviced, so that made 3 to ride out. Outrunner had a pass out for the day as well and was planning to have finished his soup by the time we got to where we were going.
Weather – it’s Scotland – we had some. Mainly the wet & windy type. Thankfully it wasn’t too wet for most of the ride – all 300 miles of it. But the wind certainly mad itself felt on some of the higher roads.
Only took a couple of piccies myself, and here they are:-

Loch Tay

Nice F8GS

On the way home – more weather


Thanks to Outrunner for the suggested meet up point – Glen Lyon Tea Room at Bridge of Balgie. Great to meet up again after such a long time .
Thanks also to Jim for making the run home interesting. Especially that 10 mile stretch over the moor – ACE fun.
Finally to eldest son, for making Dad feel young again, cos Dad can still out ride him.

A great day was had, the rain first thing almost put me off but we battled on. I didn't have to put on waterproofs so wasn't much more than drizzle really.
A good pace, nothing too strenuous! The soup was ok, could have done with a bit of seasoning, but over all a cracking Sunday out.
Good to see Andy again, almost fell off my bike at the Tummel bridge junction due to being stunned by the agility of old Andy leading the pack at a very progressive pace! Didn't think the old soup spiller had it in him!
Much thanks Steve, was a good run, good pace, and the run over the Dava moor was blistering! (Reminds me, need to wind down the preload on the Tiger, it was like a bouncy castle at max warp!)
Probably the last outing on the Tiger if the forecast's right about frost so bring on the Ickle Beemer and the Ikle rat tour! Ha ha!
Thanks again Steve, also a pleasure to see your eldest again.
Fiona's putting on a couple of pics for me.
